New York Times Magazine: The Hollywood Issue

I'm a huge fan of all things magazine, but New York Times's T Magazine is especially cool. It features  everything from food to travel to a look of the moment. And the best part? The great majority of their content is available online! Hooray for free news (for now, at least)!

With the Winter Break approaching (read: time for movie watching on the couch), check out their vote for top actors and actresses. In years past, they've opted for still photos to highlight the talent. This year, they decided to use video to reenact iconic villain moves. I was waiting for Ryan Gosling to do something epic, but all he does is smoke and walk away. Funny how our brains associate such simple actions with anticipation and villainy. 

P.s. See behind the shoot here! 

Thanksgiving is in the air!

I just might have to try making Giada's chocolate hazelnut tart from The Food Network. I'd much prefer having a dessert like this over a traditional pie during the holidays. Get the recipe here! 

And be sure to check out the New York Times's Thanksgiving Hotline for answers to everything Thanksgiving-related! Although Christmas songs might already be on the radio, it's nice to see this holiday's not forgotten by everyone! 

p.s. I might have to cave and try out this pie. Heavens! The layers! 

Who's funnier: men or women?

Answer: men, but not by much. Check out this study published in Psychonomic Bulletin and Review covered by The New York Times.

Who would you think is funnier? 

p.s. I just started Mindy Kaling's book. Because I started laughing on only page two, I'd definitely have to answer women on this one... But that's just one girl's opinion!
